Questions and Answers
What is the result of electron transfer between a metallic atom and a nonmetallic atom during bond formation?
What is the result of electron transfer between a metallic atom and a nonmetallic atom during bond formation?
- The nonmetallic atom gains electrons and becomes an anion
- The metallic atom gains electrons and becomes a cation
- The nonmetallic atom loses electrons and becomes a cation
- The metallic atom loses electrons and becomes an anion (correct)
Which atom experiences a change in charge during electron transfer in bond formation?
Which atom experiences a change in charge during electron transfer in bond formation?
- Both the metallic and nonmetallic atoms
- Only the nonmetallic atom
- Only the metallic atom (correct)
- Neither the metallic nor the nonmetallic atom
What role does the nonmetallic atom play in electron transfer during bond formation?
What role does the nonmetallic atom play in electron transfer during bond formation?
- It doesn't participate in electron transfer
- It donates electrons to the metallic atom
- It accepts electrons from the metallic atom (correct)
- It shares electrons with the metallic atom
